Chapter 75 Wood's debut (Part 2)

At the end of the first half, the score was still 0:0. Don En was very satisfied with the result, especially after seeing Kopel looking unhappy, he felt even more comfortable.

In the locker room, he did not specifically praise a player, but praised everyone in the team. He hoped these people knew that football matches were participated by a team, not a personal stage for a player. No one should be above the collective.

There is a saying in the movie "A Becoming Famous with One Ball" that made Tang En deeply touched after watching the plot.

The Newcastle coach first pointed to the team logo on the protagonist's training suit, then patted the name of the player behind him, and said: "Remember, the name in front is always more important than the name in the back."

So despite Wood's outstanding performance, Don N't said he was "good". And he also knew that this kind of verbal praise was useless to George Wood. On the contrary, he was praised and encouraged by his teammates for the first time, and his midfield partner Gunnarson sat with Wood specifically, patted his shoulder and said, "Good job, boy! You are much better than I thought!"

Morgan, who played football in the youth team with Wood, quipped: "Branya, it's useless for you to say this! George has always been very good."

"Ah?" Gunnarson didn't understand why Mogan said that.

"Do you know that Spanish boy from Arsenal?" Seeing that everyone was as interested as Gunnarson, Morgan simply stood in the middle of the locker room to show off. Donn and Walker did not stop him. There was nothing to say about this halftime break today, so it would be better to leave it to the players themselves.

Most players don’t know who Mogan is talking about, only the German central defender Hu Te, who has joined the team, nodded: “That midfielder is called Fabregas.”

Mogan is very happy that someone knows, otherwise he would be embarrassed. “Yes, it’s him! I heard that he is playing in the first team in Arsenal now! Do you know how old he is?”

Hut nodded again: "Just turned sixteen just now."

"Wow. German, you really know everything!" Mogan likes his central defender partner very much. They have a tacit understanding and can definitely partner well.

Hut said honestly: "I'm at Chelsea and I can often hear them discussing the new kid Arsenal bought."

"Ahhh? What? What do they say?" The players immediately changed their interest. The secrets of the Premier League team's locker room are worthy of expectations. Even Tang En pretended not to be interested on the surface, but actually pricked up his ears and listened carefully.

Hute is an honest man. He was very interested in everyone when he saw that everyone was very interested, so he said everything. "That kid came to Arsenal in October and played first-team games on behalf of the team before Christmas. Although people outside are not optimistic about him, everyone thinks he is a genius. Very...uh, very mature, and doesn't look like he is only sixteen years old. And to be honest, I think...uh, even Chelsea's mainland midfielders are not as talented as him."

"Wow!" Such evaluation is very high, and these players who play in the low-level league can't even imagine it. Premier League games... are like dreams for many of them. They can play in the Premier League at the age of sixteen. This is not an ordinary genius. Besides, in the giant team, Arsenal, which is fiercely competitive.

Eastwood disagreed with Hutter's opinion because he was from the same West Ham youth training camp as Joe Cole. "Joe Cole is also at Chelsea, isn't he?"

Hu Tetou said: "Yes, but I don't think he is as good as that Spanish kid."

"reason?"

"Uh...I don't know. I must say it. I can't say it either. I just think that child has a promising look." Hu Te scratched his head and frowned and said, "He looks really not like he is pretending."

Looking at the German brain as "real" as the body, Eastwood had nothing to say. He believed that Hut would not lie.

Forgotten Mogan regained his excitement: "That's right! That Spanish boy is very powerful! But do you know that someone can't play any role in his defense!"

He successfully attracted the attention of his teammates.

Tang En knew who Mogan was going to say. He looked at Wood. The boy's expression was very calm, even a little...muran, neither excited to expect or feel embarrassed. It was as if the person Mogan was about to mention was not him.

So Morgan told everyone vividly about the Youth FA Cup match in the mud: "... Although we were ahead, Arsenal was led by the Spanish kid. He launched a wave higher than a wave of attacking our goal, and I rescued the ball from the goal line once. But we all knew that this situation could not continue, and the boss obviously knew it!" Speaking of this, everyone turned their heads to Donn, who was standing at the door.

Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Tang En had to laugh, and then took over the conversation: "That's right, so I changed into George." He made everyone turn their eyes to Wood again.

Morgan continued: "I was on the court and I didn't know what the boss said to Wood. But he pointed at the Spanish kid and spoke to Wood. I remember it very clearly. Then Wood ran on the court and stood in front of the kid. Then... the talented boy from Spain never played any role in the remaining games!"

After the story was finished, everyone was still looking at Wood, but their eyes had become completely different, such as Gunnarson, who was still encouraging Wood just now. Even Eastwood, who had never been interested in him, became interested in this taciturn teammate.

No one spoke, and a silence fell into the locker room.

Tang En clapped his hands and reminded everyone to come back to his senses. "Okay. Guys, you did a good job in the first half, and continue to play like this in the second half! The time is over, so prepare to play!"

After listening to the story, the players stood up again with their own moods, opened the door and walked towards the stadium. Wood landed at the end, and he was stopped by Don Eun.

"George, did you have any ideas about the story just now?" In fact, sometimes Tang En really wants to see what material this kid's heart is made of, and he doesn't act like an eighteen-year-old child.

Wood shook his head: "No."

"Are you not excited, aren't you excited?"

He continued to shake his head: "No. You asked me to stare at that No. 25, and I did as usual. Is there anything wrong?"

Donn glanced at Wood, then turned his head and laughed. “It’s right, it’s right. George, your mom is watching you play in the box, and there is also a club owner there. Do you know? If you perform very, very well and impress the boss, he can agree to me give you a new contract, a contract for the adult team.”

Hearing Don En say this, a light flashed in Wood's eyes.

"It can make a lot of money, right?" he asked back.

Tang En nodded, "The better you perform in the second half, the higher the weekly salary figure on that contract."

Wood looked at Donn, "What else do you need me to do in the second half?"
